Default Racing batteries?

was wondering how much more they would cost than a normal battery, and if it is worth it. About how much lighter are they? What are good brands to look into?

if you are not running a lot of electronics in your car then stick to the oem, save your money on other stuff

^You don't want a racing battery if you have a subwoofer... Racing batteries are small.

How much does a cheesy stock battery from Autozone weigh anyway? It didn't seem like they're very heavy. Going to have to borrow my scale back.
